Do contemporary believers live the radically committed life Jesus calls his followers to live? In this revised and updated edition of his best-selling wake-up call, Chan challenges church members to take responsibility for their apathy, engage in honest self-examination, and totally surrender to God's purpose. Includes a new preface by Chan and a new chapter in which he shares about the last five years since Crazy Love's first release.

The God of the universe is crazy about you! His love is the most powerful thing in the world and He wants to give it to you, so you can live for Him. If you have made a commitment to follow Christ, then read Crazy Love to be reminded and challenged in your walk. Sharing from his own life struggles and sacrifices, author Francis Chan issues a call for selfless, Christ-like living. Let the love you have received from God impact your life like never before.

Publisher's Description

It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universethe Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minorloves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong.

Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'tsit's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

❝True love requires sacrifice. And our love is shown by how we live our lives❞

I just finished reading this book! It was so thought provoking that I had to put down the book more than once just to examine myself and my personal walk with God.

In Crazy Love, Francis Chan and Danae Yankoski tackles lukewarm Christianity and offers the only reasonable alternative - a radically transformed life that is dedicated to simply following the teachings of Jesus Christ. The heart of the book boils down to answering this question: Do I love the LORD, my God, with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my strength? The answer to this question will determine ones motivations and inclination for every action and reaction.

Chapters 1, 4 and 9 are my personal favourites. Chapter 1 provides a great description of an infinite God, reminding us of who we are in comparison to who God is. Chapter 4 talks about the profile of a lukewarm Christian. Chapter 9 contains stories of Christ-followers who are completely sold out for Christ in our day and age.

The statement that stuck with me the most after reading the book is this: "I just dont know if this is where I want to be when Christ returns. Id rather be helping someone or on my knees praying. I dont want Him to return and find me sitting in a theater."

I highly recommend this book to those who want to be really serious about their faith, as reading this book will move you to take action.
